Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display, comprising: a panel including pixels which are configured to control an amount of current that flows from a first power source to a second power source to generate an image of predetermined brightness, wherein the panel has top and bottom opposing each other and wherein the first and second power sources have different voltage levels; at least one first power source line formed on the top of the panel; at least one second power source line positioned on the bottom of the panel to face the first power source line; a first switch configured to alternately supply the first power source to the first and second power source lines in response to a control signal; a first input terminal positioned adjacent to the first power source line; a second input terminal positioned adjacent to the second power source line, wherein the first and second input terminals are not directly connected to the first and second power source lines; a second switch configured to alternately supply the second power source to the first and second input terminals in response to the control signal; and a conductor directly connected to the first and second input terminals and not directly connected to the first and second power source lines, wherein the first power source is configured to be supplied to the pixels via the first switch and one of the first and second power source lines, wherein the second power source is configured to be supplied to the pixels via the second switch, one of the first and second input terminals, and the conductor.
2. The OLED display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first switch is configured to supply the first power source to the first and second power source lines at least once in one frame period to correspond to the control signal.
3. The OLED display as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the first switch is configured to i) supply the first power source to the first power source line in a partial period of one frame to correspond to the control signal and ii) supply the first power source to the second power source line in the remaining period of the frame.
4. The OLED display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first switch is configured to alternately supply the first power source to the first and second power source lines based on a frame to correspond to the control signal.
5. The OLED display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second switch is configured to i) supply the second power source to the second input terminal to correspond to the control signal when the first power source is supplied to the first power source line and ii) supply the second power source to the first input terminal when the first power source is supplied to the second power source line.
6. The OLED display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the conductor has a mesh or plate shape.
7. The OLED display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first and second switches are arranged on opposing sides of the panel.
8. An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display, comprising: a panel including pixels which are configured to control an amount of current that flows from a first power source to a second power source to generate an image of predetermined brightness, wherein the panel has top and bottom opposing each other and wherein the first and second power sources have different voltage levels; at least one first power source line formed on the top of the panel; at least one second power source line positioned on the bottom of the panel to face the first power source line; a first switch configured to alternately supply the first power source to the first and second power source lines in response to a control signal; a first input terminal positioned adjacent to the first power source line; a second input terminal positioned adjacent to the second power source line, wherein the first and second input terminals are not directly connected to the first and second power source lines; a second switch configured to alternately supply the second power source to the first and second input terminals in response to the control signal; and a conductor directly connected to the first and second input terminals and not directly connected to the first and second power source lines, wherein the first power source is configured to be supplied to the pixels via the first switch and one of the first and second power source lines, wherein the second power source is configured to be supplied to the pixels via the second switch, one of the first and second input terminals, and the conductor, wherein at least three first power source lines and at least three second power source lines are provided so that the first and second power source lines receive a red first power source, a green first power source, and a blue first power source, respectively.
9. A method of driving an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display including pixels which are configured to control an amount of current supplied from a first power source to a second power source to generate an image of predetermined brightness, the method comprising: alternately supplying the first power source to a first power source line positioned on a top of a panel and a second power source line positioned on a bottom of the panel in response to a control signal, wherein the top and bottom of the panel are opposing each other, wherein the OLED display comprises a first input terminal positioned adjacent to the first power source line, a second input terminal positioned adjacent to the second power source line, and a conductor directly connected to the first and second input terminals and not directly connected to the first and second power source lines and wherein the first and second input terminals are not directly connected to the first and second power source lines; and alternately supplying the second power source to the first and second input terminals, wherein the first and second power sources have different voltage levels, wherein the first power source is configured to be supplied to the pixels via the first switch and one of the first and second power source lines, wherein the second power source is configured to be supplied to the pixels via the second switch, one of the first and second input terminals, and the conductor.
10. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the first power source is supplied to each of the first and second power source lines at least once in one frame period.
11. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the first power source is alternately supplied to each of the first and second power source lines based on a frame.
12. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the second power source is supplied to the second input terminal when the first power source is supplied to the first power source line, and wherein the second power source is supplied to the first input terminal when the first power source is supplied to the second power source line.
13. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the conductor has a mesh or plate shape.
